The Appeal

THE APPEAL STEADILY GAINS BECAUSE: 4-It is the organ of ALL Aro-Americans. 5-It is not controlled by any ring or elbow. 6-It takes no support but the people's. INCOME TAX HAS VERY WIDE SCOPE Government Requires That All of the Returns Be Made Under Oath—Extent of the Law is Broad—All Who Are Liable and Fail to Make Payment Will Be Fined. Washington—it now behooves all those with an income of more than $3,000 a year to lay a hand upon a forward brow and try to find out how they are going to pay the income tax to the government and what will happen to them if they do not. Representative Cordell Hull of Tennessee, who framed the income tax bill, issued a statement intended to help the taxable persons, and the internal revenue bureau of the treasury department is already at work on a set of instructions which will be issued later. In the first place, the law about to go into effect includes within its scope all citizens of the United States residing at home or abroad, all persons living in the United States though not citizens thereof and all net incomes from property and business owned or carried on in the United States by aliens. In every case a deduction of $3,000 is allowed for living expenses. In the case of a husband who is living with his wife, and in living with her husband an additional $3,000 exemption is allowed, so that all told a married person is entitled to an exemption of $4,000. Only one $4,000 deduction, however, is to be allowed from the aggregate of income of both husband and wife. Under ordinary circumstances incomes are to be computed for the calendar year. In the case of the present Photo © by American Press Association. CORDELL HULL year, however, the tax is to be computed only on that portion of the income accruing from March 1 to Dec. 31 next. The treasury department is preparing blank forms, which will be distributed by the district internal revenue collectors to each taxable person. If you fail to get such a blank you are required under a penalty to apply to the collector or his deputy for one. Blanks will be on deposit with postmaster, and if not, they will be taxable by taxpayers. Every taxable person is to fill out and return one of these blanks to the internal revenue collector of his district before Jan. 1 and March 1 next. The taxpayer must fill out under oath a true and accurate statement of his income of $3,000 or more for the calendar year. This return shall set forth specifically the gross amount of income from all separate sources, and from this total shall be deducted the aggregate items of the expenses and allowances authorized under the law. Any taxpayer who fails to make a true and accurate statement of his income is liable to a penalty of not less than $20 nor more than $1,000. If his return is fraudulent it will be a misdemeanor, and he will be subject to a fine of $2,000 or imprisonment for one year, or both. Each tax lawyer will be notified by the internal revenue commissioner by June 1, 1914, of the amount of the tax due from him, and the payment must be made by June 30 following. In the event of failure to pay the tax by June 80 and after ten days' further 5 per cent will be added to the tax due from him, and interest at the rate of 1 per cent a month from the time the tax falls. Exceptions are made in regard to penalties in the cases of incomes from the estates of insane, deceased or insolvent persons. In the case of neglect or refusal to make returns or in case of false returns the commissoner of internal revenue may make such return himself any time within three years of the date when the return was due. GOLD FROM NOME STORM. Sands Washed Up From Sea May More Than Repair Damage. Name, Alaska—Miners who have worked the beach sands here for gold believe that the storm that half destroyed the city recently drove ashore gold bearing sands that will more than pay for the damage done. After each big storm miners pan the new sand that has been cast up. The bottom of the sea in front of Nome is rich in gold, but no method of working it has been found. Captain Bullinger of the revenue cutter Bear informed the citizens' relief committee that he would advise the authorities at Washington that additional assistance was urgently needed for the sufferers from the storm and flood. MERCHANT ADMITS THAT HE IS A THIEF San Francisco.-For five years William Bastain has been accepted by local business men as a responsible citizen, with a profitable wholesale jewelry business. His property investments have been numerous and large, thousands of dollars have been sent by him to support his mother in Germany, and his young sister has had the best educational and social advantages. He lies now in the city prison a confessed robber, with a record covering many years, captured by a pet bull pup who plumed in a corner as he stole through a back yard in the night. "My work has been so easy it has been achievable," Bastain told the detectives when he finally broke down. "I have never been disturbed while at work. The people I did business with believed me to be what I represented myself absolutely. Jewelers bought my diamonds, and the mint took my melted gold without question. "I have always been a natural thief, and I have found it easy to steal things, but I am averse to killing or injuring. I had never been in a position where I had to shoot until Friday night. My reluctance to use my revolver caused my capture." Bastain was making his way across the yard of the home of Ulrich Debruner when Miss Jennie Debruner's dog discovered him. The uproar brought the girl to the scene, and the dog gold the man she summoned the police. Among the numerous burglaries to which Bastain is said to have confessed was the looting of the home of N. W. Wood, a wealthy merchant, of $5,000 in jewelry last December. CANCEL TRIP FOR POODLE. Women Grow Angry When Men Classify Dog as Baggage. Kansas City, Mo.-A 3,000 mile trip and a winter's stay in southern California were given up by Mrs. J. C. Wilkshire and her daughter when they were told that Rags, a fat, much petted poole, twelve years old, would have to ride in the baggage car. Mrs. Wilkshire argued and pleaded in vain and ended the scene by turning her tickets back to the company and cancelling her orders for accommodations. 12,000 PENNIES PAY TAXES. Refusal to Accept Checks Brings Small Coin Flood. Oxford, Pa.—Angered by the tax collector's refusal to accept checks preffered to him, taxpayers here have hit upon a plan of revenge and are paying their obligations in pennies. There was a flood of the small coins, 12,000 being turned in in one day, and a larger outpouring is expected. HAPPY NEW YEAR WATCHED the old year fade, And with its dying light The gloom, at first a shade, Turned into darkest night. And then I said: "Tis gone The old year is no more. And memories now alone Linge along the shore" I watched the old year die, And with its fading day There came the thought that by Its death a brighter way Ope up, and all things at night. We'll have surprise at last. From specters dark as night Their life, but in the past THE OLD YEAR'S FLIGHT. The old year's flight And then said, with a smile, "Ah, now the new year bright Will bide with us awhile!" But he turned to the faces Have realized one day Is dead and passed; it seems It starts but to decay. Thus all along the way Gravestones must mark the miles An epitaph each day. At the end of the dead smiles. So we begin the new ('Tis old ere we've begun) To find it's aging, too. With the first setting sun. But 'twill not always be. There'll come a living day, There's things new, and we Shall live in despair. No gravestones then will mark The tomba where dead hopes lie, No nights of sorrow dark Creep o' our chance sky. James Daniel Cleaton THE dawn is gray and chilly with the frost. The tree pushes now flutters, now is still. And all our twelfemouth's deeds, a good or ill. Pass into shadow, silent, one by one. While from the night wherein we wander, lost. * The new year rises with the rising sun * A new year? Nay; 'tis but the same old year, * The same remorseless round of seasons * Of seasons in their order, joy and pain, * The old emotions playing upon strings That a x a little older, drawing page. near The final end of all remembered things Earth ages, and the very mountains nod With years, and we who crawl upon their breast Puss at the sliding sands' benign behest. Hate fades, greed falls, lust crumbles into clay. A New Year Proposal. "What resolutions have I vowed to keep the coming year? Come, sit beside me, malen fair, and watch me as I pledge myself to choose one girl from out the throng so gay And love her with an honest love forever and for aye. "I'll work for her with brain and brawn, with all my might and main." Until I've won her everything that honesty can gain. I'll fill her life with all that's good till life itself is done. And while we train our minds and hearts we'll not neglect the fun. "Now, tell me, won't you, maiden fair, what you have vowed to do? For I've laid bare my innost soul to no one but to you." "I've made no plodges," she replied in so demure a tone. "But if you don't object I'll try to help you keep your own." -Wallace Dunbar Vincent DICKY sprawled ungratefully on the floor, and at times he bestowed a sly and naughty kick upon the unresisting legs of a chair that stood near him. His first impulse was to feel sorry for doing this, his second to look around and see if any one had noticed this little outburst of temper. It may be that the Christmas festivities prior to before had been too much for him; but, whatever it was, Dicky was certainly cross and inclined to weep easily. However, neither his mother nor his Aunt Gertrude noticed how he kicked the chair nor the way he scowled upon the world in general from under his tawny curls. They were absorbed in their preparations for entertaining the guests of that evening, and for once Dicky was forgotten. "If I was going to have a party and invite all the people in the world I'd invite my own little boy, Dicky. too. I wouldn't leave him out," quoth Dicky out of the silence. "What's that?" asked his mother carelessly, absorbed in her own thoughts, so, no, Dicky; this is a part of mother and father's friends. You wouldn't enjoy it. "Oh, but I do want to come." persisted Dicky. "I've heard you all talking about it, and I want to see the new year come in the window." "What is the child talking about?" asked his aunt. "The new year. It's coming in the window, and I hear mother tell how you were all going to open it to welcome it in." replied Dicky, somewhat impatient at his audt for not understanding so obvious a meaning. Nothing will come in at the window, and Dicky will try just a pretty combo. There will not be anything for you to see, and you will be much happier upstairs in your nice warm bed." Dicky wept a little at the time, and when the hour came for bed under the stern eye of his father he rebelliously consented to be tucked in by his nurse, although not without further remonstrances. Finding them of no avail, he sobbed his woes into his pillow, while the nurse went below to receive their guests. By making a brave resistance to the drowsiness that was stalling upon him Dicky managed to keep awake until the party had assembled in the parlor below. Then he crept out of bed and hung over the banisters, eagerly trying to catch sight of the brilliant people in the gathering. A man passed along the hall. Dicky thought it might be the campered back to bed again fast and hard, but would carry him. And then without more ado he soon fell asleep, "the world forgetting, by the world forget." Downstairs the hours passed merely, and the old year drew to a happy close. First there were only fifteen minutes of it left; then there were only ten. Finally the old year had but five short periods, counting sixty seconds each, to live. The men and women gathered together showed nothing of the matter, the meriment of all such gatherings, minutes three, minutes two, minutes—ah! They turned from the windows in surprise to see Dicky standing in the doorway. He was not dressed for the party, and his little nightgown afforded scant protection against the drafts of the lower room. He was not expected at the party, either, and the expression on his father's face suggested that he was not even welcome there. These might have disturbed an adult guest, but they mattered little to Dicky. He did not look or speak to any one. Ordinally his father's sternness would have sent him with a beading rush to the protection of his mother's arms. Turning neither to the right nor to the left, he went to the window, and, although his eyes were closed, his little hands unlocked the catch that fastened it and opened the great cements without a mistake or hesitation. His mother, choking back a cry, took a wrapped wrap and to cover him. He fainted and stood at his brother, who was standing near. "Be careful not to wake him suddenly," said Dr. Tom. "He's walking in his sleep." He raised the child gently in his arms and held him in the full blaze of the great chandelier, but Dicky's closed eyelids never quivered as the light struck against them. When he opened his eyes he was amazed to find himself at the party after all, surrounded by men and women_who all said cheerfully "A happy New Year to you, Dicky, dear!" He was too drowsy to be frightened, but as his father carried him back to bed the child heard the great bell of the city calling out to him: "A happy New Year, Dicky, dear, and many of them" NEW YEAR'S was a long time in settling upon Jan. 1 as the proper time for its celebration. Even now, in Greece and Russia, where the Julian calendar is in force, New Year's does not arrive until twelve days after the year is well on its way in the rest of the civilized world. The ancient Egyptians and Persians began the new year at the autumnal equinox, Sept. 27, and the Greeks of Solon's time at the winter solstice, socece. The winter solstice the date was changed to the longer since, June 21. The Romans began the year from the winter solstice until Caesar changed it to Jan. 1. With the Jews the new year began in September in civil affairs, but in their ecclesiastical reckoning the beginning of the year dates from the vernal equinox, March 22. And, as this is astronomically the beginning of spring, the date is a logical one, and that of the 25th of March 25 being a fully rounded number was accepted generally by Christian nations in medieval times as New Year's. In England Dec. 25 was New Year's until the time of William the Conqueror. His coronation happened to fall on Jan. 1, and accordingly the year was ordered to commence on that day. But the English gradually fell into Christendom and began the year on March 15 in 1582 the Gregorian calendar was promulgated and definitely located New Year's on Jan. 1 most Catholic countries adopted it at once, but England did not acquiesce until 1752. In ancient Rome New Year's day was given up to feasting and frolic-ing. Sacrificial fires burned continually on the altars of the twelve gods. All litigation and strife were suspended. ALL NATIONS DRIVE A NEW YEAR'S HEALTH. reconciliations took place. New Year's calls were made and New Year's gifts bestowed. There also originated the New Year's resolution, for every Roman resolved on New Year's day to so regulate his conduct that every word and act should be a happy augury for all the days of the ensuing year. On account of the orgies which marked the New Year's arrival not only among the Romans, but among the Teutonic races, the early Christians looked with scant favor upon the whole season. By the fifth century, however, Dec. 25 became the fixed festival of the Nativity, whereupon Jan. 1, assumes a special sacred character as the Christian Christmas. The giving of gifts on New Year's day has been supervised largely in Anglo-Saxon countries by the giving of Christmas gifts, but the custom still is retained in France. This custom was one of the most ancient and universally observed of New Year's day. The drums distributed branches of the sacred mimiteteo. The Roman emperors exacted gifts, and so did the English rulers down to the time of Cromwell. The world over of New Year's it is a custom to drink to the health of one's friends. The custom of making New Year resolutions and "turning over a new leaf" is universal and like political platforms, as is much honored in the breach as in the observance. But the temptation which surrounds fruit that man beings in this wicked world are many and insidious. What a message to our comfort. What a message to our gratitude. Those habits that disregarded. Haunt our presence still like ghosts! Kansas City, St. LAST SHOT KILLS BEAR. Final Bullet Fatal to Charging Bruin Thirty Feet From Lad. Portland, Ore.-Percy, the twenty-year-old son of C. S. Hill of Hoke Point, Wash., in Cowltz county, shot what is believed to be the largest bear ever killed in that town. The young man had to fire seven shots with his 30-30 rifle to end the life of the monster bruin, which charged him from a distance of 300 feet after his first shot had wounded it. The seventh bullet broke its back and laid the animal low when it was within thirty feet. Percy, in great excitement, ran two miles in seventeen minutes to his father's home with word that he had killed "the largest black bear in creation." After the brute_had been skinned and dressed the meat of its carcass alone wledged 225 pounds. LOSES FEET AND WATCH. Surgens Cut Off First and Thief Takes the Other. Philadelphia.-While surgeons of a hospital in this city were amputating the feet of John Guest, who was run over by a train at Bangor, Pa., his gold watch was stolen from his pocket. When he recovered consciousness from the anaesthetic he missed the timepiece, and the loss caused a hurried search, but nothing could be found to explain the loss. Suspicion fell on Paul Relker, an ordained at the institution. He was arrested, confessed to the time was held for trial. This led to a discovery that another patient, Frank Price, was robbed of a diamond stickpin while under the influence of ether in the surgical ward, and Relker also confessed that theft. BOY'S DIVE AT LAST FATAL. Lad Who Broke Neck Year Ago-Sucumbs in Hospital. Babylon, N. Y.—Joseph Weeks is dead in the Southside hospital here from the effects of an accident July 7, 1912. He dove into shear water and struck the bottom with such force as to break his neck. He would have drowned had it not been for the alertness of Joseph Dovell, a friend, who pulled him ashore. Week's mind remained bright to the 'last, but he never was able to regain the use of his body. He was always cheerful and hopeful, and no patient in the hospital received more attention from visitors. On several occasions he was wheeled about the village, and he even attended ball games in his reclining chair. BLOW UP WARSHIPS BY WIRELESS NOW New Invention Is Secretly Tested In England. London—An invention which, when fully developed, promises to reform war has been given a successful test off Portsmouth. Although the admiralty has attempted to keep the matter a secret, it is now definitely known that a mine attached to the bottom of the British cruiser Terpsichore was exploded at a distance of eight miles by whale-pumple. So soon the Terpsichore, a third class cruiser of 3400 tons displacement, 300 feet long and forty-three feet beam, was taken into dry dock, where dockyard hands attached a metal box to her bottom. The cruiser was towed to Stokes bay. Her water-tight compartments were then closed and all members of the crew left the ship. A few moments later the Terpsichore half rose out of the water amid a tusk upheaval of water. She at once took hold of the yard tugs came to her assistance, keeping her afloat with their pumps while they towed the sinking cruiser into Portsmouth. BOY EARNS $40,000. His Share of Profits Coming From His Expert Knowledge of Farming. Jollet. Ill. — Werner Kreimer, nineteen-year-old son of J. F. Kreimer, a farmer of Jackson township, Will county, has bought a 160 acre farm for $40,000, all of which he has realized himself from his share of the profits of his father's farm. The lad is a student of scientific agriculture and has taken a long course of home study from the University of Chicago. He has applied his knowledge in the farm and has increased the earnings of the farm 40 per cent. The Kreimer farm is said to be the most profitable in Will county as a result of the boy's modern methods. Enameling of Defective Gems Deceives Even Experts. Paris.—The Paris police are investigating a remarkable pearl affair. An individual, whose name is undivulged, has discovered a means of hiding defects in pearls by a process of enameling. Many pearls prepared for the market have been seized by the police. One pearl valued at 80,000 francs by an expert is declared to have a real value of only 13,000 francs. $2.40 PER YEAR: FINDS METHOD OF PROLONGING LIFE Dr. Alexis Carrel Announces Discovery of Remarkable Advancement in Science—Possible That Old Age May Be Postponed by Use of Method—Shown That Cell Survives After Death. New York.—The earlier experiments upon the preservation of life in animal tissues after removal from the gross organism have set Dr. Alexis Carrel at the Rockefeller institute at the threshold of a more important discovery. These experiments established the fact that not only could connect tissues to each other permanently in a condition of self life, but that under certain easily controlled conditions, growth could take place. In Dr. Carrel's laboratory cells have been proliferating rapidly for more than sixteen months after their re 1913, by American Press Association. DR. ALEXIS CARREL. moval from the organism of which they had formed a part. Hitherto all tissue when removed from the animal organism has been meat. These researches established the fact that such tissue may continue to grow indefinitely. As this discovery became more familiar to the investigator it was discovered that a constant relation existed between the rate of growth of the cell and the composition of the medium in which it is preserved. This fact, Dr. Carrel now announces, indicated that certain cell phenomena of the higher animals, such as multiplication, growth and senility, might now be investigated profitably. At first blocked by lack of proper method, this investigation has now become possible through the discovery of a technique which permits strains of connective tissue to multiply indefinitely in the test tubes, like micro-organisms. In the report now issued it may be taken that the mention of senility is intended to foreshadow an ultimate object of this line of profound study. That would seem to mean that this research is advancing toward the discovery of some means of postponing the approach of old age. But Dr. Carrel says nothing of the sort. He confines himself to a rigidly detailed statement of experiments. The results of this series of research have the interest that they prove conclusively that the Dr. Carrel has taken yet one more step toward the goal of his inquiry. His earlier reports established the sufficiently starting fact that the death of the gross organism by no means entailed the simultaneous death of the component parts. The first conclusion reached was the proof of life after death—the survival of the cell. The later investigation has established a knowledge of the characteristics of the growth of connective tissue. This has led to a new result—the indefinite proliferation of a strain of connective tissue cells outside of the organism. The strain of connective tissue originally obtained from a fragment of chicken embryo heart, which had been pulsating in the test tube for 104 days, was still actively alive after a month of fixation life and more than 190 passages. The rate of proliferation of the connective tissue sixteen months old equaled and even exceeded that of fresh connective tissue taken from an eight day old embryo. "It appears, therefore," Dr. Carrel reports, "that time has no effect on the tissues isolated from the organism and preserved by means of the technique described. During the sixteenth month of life in vitro the cells increased rapidly, number and were able in a short time to produce a large quantity of new tissues." Name For New Battleship.

SATURDAY, DECEMBER 27, 1913 Before another issue of THE APEAL the year 1913 will have passed into history. Though some folks really thought it would be hoodooed by the figure in 13 it, it has proved to be just about like its predecessors; full of joys and sorrows, ups and downs, "good luck" and "bad luck", etc. etc. We who have passed through it are still here, and, while all of us are one year older, one year nearer to the "dark river," there are few, if any who have not had more blessings than curses showered upon us. So, we can surely be thankful. Thankful, as Napoleon said, that things have been no worse. Let us buckle on our armor and enter into the battle of life in 1914, with a determination to make it the best year of our lives. It seems that there is at least one white man in the world who is of the opinion that the day is not far distant when the boasted superiority of the white man will only be a remembrance. Dr. A. Luce, who for 16 years has been a resident of China-and is now president of the Presbyteria College at Shan Tung, China, addressed the students at Macalester College this week and among other things said: "In 100 years or less, because of the wealth of raw material, because of the wealth of manual labor, because of the fiber of the people, China will be the dominant nation of the world intellectually, politically and economically." It is a good thing that the Doctor was in Minnesota when he made this statement; had he been south of Mason and Dixon's line, there would have been a lynching. Minnesota's junior United States Senator, Moses E. Clapp, is all right. In a speech before the National Woman Suffrage Association in Washington Thursday he said: "God never intended any race to be subservient to another. No more did He intend one sex to be in political or economic bondage to another." We are willing to accept the entire statement just as it stands. "She threw the Thanksgiving turkey out of the window, the gravy on my new suit and the mince pie in my face," said a candidate for divorce. Now, we appeal to all our brethren, was he not justified in his actions? As an old German friend says, too much is plenty. Mrs. Emmaline Pankhurst is having a tough time since her return to dear Lunnon and she will, very likely, have to separate herself from many of the $20,000 of American money she accumulated during her short stay in this country before her troubles cease. Four of the white men who mobbed and shot to death an Afro-American at Greeley, Iowa, a couple of weeks ago have been arrested and charged with murder—of which they unquestionably are guilty—whether their punishment will fit the crime remains to be seen. Prof. Eric Doolittle, of the University of Pennsylvania says that the time will come when all the people on the earth will die of cold. But as he fixes the date at A. D. 15001913, we should worry. A man died recently in New York aged 90 years. He was unknown generally to New Yorkers, but owned $25,000,000 in Manhattan realty. How he kept out of the limelight is a mystery. King Menelik of Abyssina is again reported to be dead, but he seems to have as many lives as a cat and the rumor lacks confirmation. NO COLOR LINE In the Jean Martin Brown Receiving Home, St. Anthony Park. A short time ago the Men's Union League sent notices to the several societies and churches, asking for a donation to aid in refinishing the room in the Jean Martin Brown Reef, which was originally furnished by the A.A. Association of Minnesota at a cost of several hundreds of dollars. Something like $150.00 will be needed. Some one started a rumor that the color line is drawn in the institution to indicate the number of donations. But such is not the case, it was inserted in the deed when Mr. Joseph Elsinger gave the ground to the Association, that there be to no discriminations or distractions on admission. The following letter from the superintendent will settle that phase of the case as well as settle the cause for the rumor to start. Office of The Children's Home Society of Minnesota. St. Paul, Minn., Dec. 15, 1913. Dr. V. D. Turner, 2 E. Th. St. City. My Dear Dr. Turner: In regard to the Ericson baby, I am very much grieved that there should have been any misunderstanding with regard to the reason why it was not taken into the Home. In regard to that all our friends may understand the facts in the case I am writing you this letter. Baby Ericson was brought to us January 28th by the mother's sister, she representing that she would keep the baby, but insults as the father a colored man and the mother a white woman, her husband objected and declared he would not have it in the home. Much as the mother had gone to her home in Wisconsin, for the sake of peace in the family, we took the child in until the mother could be written to and return the assignment blank which we sent her to transfer the child to the society. In return we were requested to us that we wanted to keep the child and wished us to board it. I told her that our rule was that we could not take any baby so young as that to board so young as in any case what the It then occurred to me that the Home for colored aged people and children on Randolph street might be the 'phone and received what appeared to be a very cheerful consent to take it and care for it, and that is the disposition of the case so far as I have heard nothing from it since. But I wish to say that in no case have we ever discriminated against any child because of its color or nationality. During my superintendent days, I had a colored child in the home for a greater part of the time. The last one was placed last summer in a very desirable home in Minneapolis. We would not consider it Christian work, but we would port of fainted people we drew the color line; in fact, my personal sympathies have always been very warm toward the colored people. I remember that we went to times in both cities and I might say that my mother took into her home a colored girl about seven years old as her own daughter and kept her until she was married. This will give you the impression that the subject. The history of the Society has continuously from the first been kindly toward the colored people of St. Paul, who so generously furnished room in the building and are being certain improvements and repairs. Please use this letter in any way to relieve any impression that may have gone around that we had no choice for the answer. In question as the above face will allow that our action was altogether honorable in the matter and what we thought was for the best interests of the child. Respectfully yours, S. W. DICKINSON, Superintendent TO RECORD HEART ACTION ON FILM Hope to Ascertain Guilt of Accused Man. USE ELECTROCARDIOGRAPH Prisoner Caught Through Confession Made by Ally When He Thought Death Was Near—Crime Fourteen Years Old—Believe Instrument Will Tell True Story of Killing. Omanah, Neb.—As the result of a confession made by another man on what he supposed was to be his deathbed Charles Koff of Vallejo, Cal., is to be brought back to Nebraska, and for the murder of Julian Bhuhnard, a miner, of Julian, Neb. fourteen years ago. On a charge of being implicated in the same crime Fuller Shellenberger of Burlington, Kann, also will be tried, the prosecution being based on the confession, made when he thought he was dying, last July after being prostrated by heat. In questioning Kotf about the murder the authorities will use a very delicate instrument known as the electrocardiograph, which records on a motion picture film the electric impulse generated by the human heart under the stress of emotions. Evidence thus recorded would not be admitted during a person for murder, but the record will be valuable for scientific reasons. There are only five electrocardiographs in America, four being in the east and the one to be used on Kotf being at the University of Nebraska. The instrument records the heart's fluctuations through a fiber so delicate it cannot be seen by the naked eye. The movement of the fiber is therefore through a single telescope, and by the use of an electric shadow is recorded on the film. The instrument was invented by Professor Einthoven of Leyden, Holland. According to Shellenberg's confession, Buhward kept his money in a tin can, which was cut open with a hatchet after the aged miner had been slain. In removing the money from the can, Shellenberg says, Koff cut one of his hands so badly on the jagged tin can that it was broken and he was today. In examining Koff the authorities will show him a can like the one described by Shellenberger and without letting him know Shellenberger has made a confession will refer to things of which Shellenberg spoke concerning the crime. Scientists say he may be able to control his facial expression and appear perfectly calm. Shellenberg has always theeless will record the text warriors in the beating of his heart as he hears or looks upon things associated with the murder. Shellenberger has repudiated his confession, saying he was delirious when he made it. He is in a Nebraska jail, however, and must face trial. Koff has been employed at the Mare Island University for the last nine years. After Shellenberger confessed detectives took up Koff's trall and arrested him. SEES WILSON ON TOY MAIL Philadelphia Girl Asks Him to Back Plan to Befriend Children. Washington—President Wilson granted an interview to Miss Olive May Wilson, the seventeen-year-old girl from Jenkintown, a suburb of Philadelphia, who came to Washington to ask public men to indorse her project for sending toys through the malls next Christmas to 5,000 destitute boys and girls of Philadelphia. Washington told the president of her ambition to develop the mail distribution of toys into a national understaking, and Mr. Wilson promised to consider her plan before officially indorsing it as a president. She has already obtained the support of Vice President Marshall. FRIGHT CURES HIS ACHES. Rheumatism Vanishes When Horses Hes Tail Snatched Off. Barabo, Wils.-A team belonging to Floyd Townsend was driven near a thrashing machine in Montfort, and when the horse nearest swished his tall at the flies the appendage was drawn into the machine, and every hair was pulled out. William Bowers, the driver, was thrown from the load and narrowly escaped death when he was struck by Christopher Neumuth, aged and bent with rheumatism, was on the rear of the load and when the excitement was over stood straighter than he had for years. His rheumatism was gone. $650,000 NECKLACE SOLD. Famous Pearls to Be Brought to This Country. London. - The Brussels Telegram states that Max Mayer's famous $600, 300 pearl necklace has been purchased by Count de Montane on behalf of an other person and that the count is about to sail for America with the necklace. The necklace was lost recently and was picked up in the street by a workman, who was so ignorant of its value that he tried to sell one of the pearls for a glass of beer. How to Wash Silk Blouse. When washing silk blouses never rub soap on them or rub the silk between the hands. Use soap suds and a little water to melt the lined water, as this gives a gloss to the silk. For tussle silk use bran water in place of soak. A pound of bran should be well bolled in two quarts of water, strained and used for both washing and rinsing water. One part of water to three parts of the bran mixture will be found about the right proportion. PEGOUD VERY MUCH ALIVE. Air Man Repeats *Exploits* and Discusses Contract For United States. Paris—Pegoud, the "upide down air man," whose nonappearance at the Buc serodrome rumors that he had been killed, duly exhibited his specialty at Buc next day, flying upside down and looping the loop six times. He essayed to loop the loop in a two seated aeroplane with a sand bag weighing about 150 pounds, to represent a passenger, but failed in the attempt. He rose about 3,000 feet and THE MASTER © 1918 by American Press Association. AVIATOR PEGOUD. dropped lower and faster than on his previous remarkable flights before he turned over. The spectators became greatly alarmed when they saw the tips of the wings vibrate like those of a bird after it had been struck. They feared he had lost control, but he managed to right the machine with great difficulty and managed safely. Explaining his experience afterward he said that the machine for the moment was quite uncontrollable, whether owing to the extra weight or because it was badly balanced he did not know. He declared that he would try again and would find out. DEMAND HONESTY IN U. S. COMMERCE Washington.—With the approval of the president legislation barring from interstate commerce any article which is mislabeled and fraudulently represented, which would apply the pure food law principle to all commerce between the states, will be advanced at the approaching regular session of conference on the house committees on interstate and foreign commerce, and a subcommittee already has been named to draft it. President Wilson heartily indulges the principle of the legislation and has so advised leaders in congress. A dozen bills to close the arteries of commerce to misrepresented wares have been introduced in this congress. Similar bills were introduced in prior congresses, but no one has taken them. The president is known to only a few that he is president giving this subject considerable attention and has said, "Go ahead." The subcommittee of the house committee on interstate and foreign commerce has been delegated by Chairman Adamson to take the various "pure manufactures" bills introduced and to teach the public how to apply the pure food law ideas to practically everything manufactured and shipped across state lines. TWO BOTTLES OF GIN A DAY. The Daily Fluid Ration of Samson, Who Is Saventy-nine. San Francisco-, David Samson, who is said to have been the first American to establish commercial relations between the Philippine Islands and the United States, has retired from active work with the concern he founded and is hale and spry at seventy-nine, which was apparent when he landed from the�maison Chine. "I have never done any dieting to speak of." declared "Uncle Dave," as he is known in the orient, "and for the past sixty years I have drunk close to two bottles of gin every day." Unearth Moss Fossil. Los Angeles-Workmen have excavated the bones of a mammal believed to have been a prehistoric elephant. The skeleton measured eighteen feet in height.

Intellect too often means nerves, insomnia, hypochondria. "Yes; it is a good thing for the human race that, as an old maid from Vassar put it rather bitterly: "Man prefer a well formed girl to a well informed one."—New, York Trib INSECT LOVER A GREAT CHARACTER Has Devoted Fifty Years to Study of Little Belings. ALSO A CHARMING WRITER. Jean Henri Fabre is Known as Discoverer of New World—Books Arouse Interest Among Famous Men—For Sake of Science He Endured Many Miseries—Will Have a Monument. Paris—Jean Henri Fabre has been called the Homer of the Insect world. For fifty years he has studied insects and their ways more closely and continuously perhaps than any other man. Add to this the fact that he is a poet as well as a man of science, that he writes with peculiar charm, and it will be understood why his books about insects have aroused the enthusiasm of such men as Maurice Masterlinck and Frederic Mistral. They refer to him as the discoverer of a new world. He has been compared to La Fontaine, whose fables give evidence of his love for beasts. Their writings show the same freshness, simplicity and charm. Darwin was struck by the patience and ingenuity exhibited by M. Fabre in penetrating the secrets of insects, and in the "Origin of Species" he refers to an English translation of M. Fabre's book "The Life of a Spider" has lately been published. He was born in the south of France, was the son of poor parents, and his whole life has been one of uninterrupted labor. As a lad he taught himself to read at night by the light of a blazing pine knot. In school he paid his tuition fees by serving as a choir boy. He won a scholarship at the normal school at Avignon and became a teacher, finally rising to the grade of professor. It was while he was attached to the lycee at Avignon that he came across the entomological works of Leon Dufour, and thereafter the course of his life was changed. He saw how incomplete was the state of the science of entomology, and what he saw opened to him a magnificent field of study. Thereafter as soon as he was able he gave up teaching, devoted him to the study of insects and endured many miseries for the sake of science. He went to live in a cottage with rose tinted walls and green blinds at the little village of Sergian, on the road from Orange to Valreas. For years the neighboring peasants knew little of him. Then one day they learned that a great scholar was dwelling among them, and now he is the glory of the village. He has used incredible patience and ingenuity, guided by sympathy, in studying insects. Observation and study in the laboratory did not tell him what he wanted to know. It was necessary for him to watch the free insects in their natural environment. What he saw he described sympathetically, poetically, vividly. His writings interest the general reader as much as the entomologist. He described and cared the industry of the bee and the butterfly of preying mantis, that florce insect which devours its wives and charms its victims with what the entomologists call its spectral nose. Masterlink wrote of him: "He devoted to the task of surprising their little secrets, which are the counterpart of the greatest mysteries, fifty years of an existence solitary, misunderstood; poor, often approaching want, but illuminated each day by the joy which is brought by a truth, which challenges you, you will live others. Little truths, you will live others. They are offered to us by the ways of a spider' or a cricket. There are no little truths. There exists but one, of which the mirror to our uncertain eyes seems broken, but each fragment of it, whether it reflects the evolution of a star or the flight of a bee, contains the supreme law." M. Fabre now ninety. Honors him now. His life is wide-spread. He is no longer able to see his studies. He sits day after day smoking his pipe in the dining room of his cottage. Not long ago Frederic Mistral, the famous octogenarian poet of Provence, made an appeal in his behalf on the ground that he was in a lamentable condition of undeserved poverty. This M. Fabre denied. The French government granted the adult entomologist a literary pension of $300 a year. Later still the Academy of Sciences of France awarded him a prize of the value of 4,000 francs. A minister of state has paid an official visit to him, and it is proposed to erect a statue in his honor at Aignon. WALKS 360 MILES TO "PEN" Ia Finally Admitted to Five Year Term After Court Error. Little Rock, Ark—An error in the court routine caused "Bock" Patterson to walk 360 miles to begin his sentence to five years in the penitentiary where for manslaughter, Patterson, fifty-sex, was convicted at Russellville, 180 miles from here. He had always borne a good reputation, and upon his request was allowed to make the trip alone. He had always borne a good reputation, and upon his request was allowed to make the trip alone. Logic and Metaphysics. Josquin Miller was once conversing with a learner professor who was visiting California. To the poet's query, "What do you do?" the professor answered that he held the chair of metaphysics and logic at a New England university. Whereupon the venerable Miller, with an encouraging smile, reassuringly patted the professor on the shoulder. "Logic and metaphysics, eh? Well, I suppose we must look after those things, even if they don't ask." Knowles Building. Boys' Hall. Stone Hall. Grits' Hall. Model Home. ATLANTA UNIVERSITY. Atlanta, Ga.

I will never bring disgrace upon my race by any unworthy deed or dishonorable act. I will live a clean, decent, many life; and will ever respect and defend the virtue and honor of womanhood: I will uphold and obey the just laws of my country and of the community in which I live and will encourage others to do likewise: I will not allow prejudice, injustice, insult or outrage to cower my spirit or humilate my soul; but will ever preserve the inner freedom of heart and conscience: I will not allow myself to be overcome of evil; but will strive to overcome evil with good: I will endeavor to develop the best powers within me for my personal improvement; and will strive unceasingly to quicken the sense of racial duty and responsibility: I will in all these ways aim to uplift my race so that, to everyone bound to it by ties of blood; it shall become a bond of ennoblement, and not a byword of reproach. COMMENTS OF CONTEMPORARY IES AND OTHERS. On the Souvenir Edition issued by THE APPEAL Oct. 25th, In commemoration of the Fifthth Anniversary of Emancipation. In commemoration of the fiftieth anniversary of the issuance of the emancipation proclamation, the St. Paul Appeal has produced a special Mr. J. Q. Adams, City. My Dear Mr. Adams: I just received a copy of THE APPEAL, issued as a commemorative edition of the fiftieth anniversary of the penning of the emancipation proclamation and the whole paper is so credible to the cause, as well as to the publisher, that I am sending you my hearty congratulations. The colored people of the Twin Cities, as well as of the entire northwest, have reason to feel proud of THE APPEAL and its editorial staff. Yours truly, JULIUS A. SCHMAHL, Secretary of State. November 7, 1913. Mr. J. Q. Adams, The Appeal, St. Paul, Minn. My Dear Mr. Adams:— The special edition which you issued on October 25th, in commemoration of the Fiftieth Anniversary of the Emancipation Proclamation, is a creditable edition indeed—in fact the writer, having seen many special editions, considers this as good a one as he has ever had the pleasure of examining. The illustrations are particularly fine and you certainly deserve a great deal of commendation for this splendid edition. Very truly yours, George Sorenson, Manager of St. Paul Office American Press Association. PROGRESS OF ST. PAUL AFRO-AMERICANS SHOWN. Special Edition of The Appeal a Compliment to Development A splendid illustrated special edition of THE TEB APPEAL, the oldest and best known weekly paper in the Northwest, devoted to the interests of the colored race, appeared this week in commemoration of the 50th anniversary of the issuance by Pres. Abraham Lincoln of his emancipation proclamation. The one reflects great credit upon its publisher and editor, J. Q. Adams, who is one of the earliest and best known Afro-Americans in St. Paul and one who has ever stood for the best interests of his race. The "emancipation proclamation" number of THE APPEAL contains the address of Rev. A. J. Carey, D. D., Ph.D., D. Chicago, delivered at the recent Perry centennial, in which he told of the 109 dainttess colored heroes who fought in the famous naval battle of more progressive Negro citizens. It will be interesting to Savannahans to learn that at the celebration, whose success was probably primarily due to the publicity which THE APPEAL gave the matter, Mr. W. T. Mitchell, a native of this city, who used to be plain "Mitch," was among the members of one of the prominent committees that had charge of the celebration. The Tribune congratulates THE APPEAL upon this interesting number.—Savannah Tribune. The Emancipation number of "The Appeal," published jointly at St. Paul and Minneapolis, displayed much energy and more brain on the part of our good friend, Editor J. E. Adams. We congratulate him and we have placed a copy in our library, to be used as a work of reference and study. —The Informer, Detroit, Mich. The Appeal, of Minneapolis and St. Paul, J. Q. Adams, Editor, arrived at our office this week. It was a special edition, devoted to the Half Century Emancipation Celebration. It was a magnificent product, a triumph of newspaper art and we regret that our many subscribers had lost the opportunity of seeing what great accomplishments are being achieved by our people in the newspaper world. We congratulate the editor and staff of "The Appeal."—The Union, Cincinnati, O. We are in receipt of a copy of the recent souvenir edition of the St. Paul and Minneapolis, Minnesota, Appeal, and we can truthfully say that it is a fine commentary on the general newspaper ability of its editor and publisher, Mr. John Q. Adams. From a literary, lithographic and mechanical standpoint this issue of The Appeal claims a distinctive place in Negro newspaperdom, and stamps it as a publication clearly abreast of the times.—The Pioneer Press, Martinsburg, W. Va. This week the St. Paul, Minnesota, Appeal, a journal of many years' standing in the northwest, got out a special illustrated number last week containing the likenesses of some of the Twin City's good looking citizens, also the cuts of their business enterprises, both interior and exterior, and the cuts of their beautiful homes, which was truly a fine issue from every viewpoint. The Bystander extends congratulations, Bro. Adams, upon the production of such a fine issue.—Iowa Bystander. MRS. MILLIE ALEXANDER. The Hair Manufacturer and Hair Dresser In St. Paul.
